a dumb question for rec letters

<p>On the common application, the recommendation letter is the "Teacher Evaluation forms" that can be completed and turned in online right? Cause I always thought that rec letters are essays written by teachers and stamped and mailed the old fashion way.</p>

<p>Its a rec letter for both the teachers and your HS Counselor. You go to the school forms area, click ‘invite’ and put down their information (Name, e-mail, phone number) and they fill everything out online. Then they down have to copy and mail their recs over and over.</p>

<p>Wait…I thought they could email recs online?</p>

<p>they can do them once online using the common application and then once saved online you can drop them into any commonapplication as a recommendation. They can also mail them in…but in that case they have to mail one to EACH school. It’s easier if they just do it once on the common application ONLINE and then YOU do the work of posting it to each CA school you want to have it included within. However on the Universal College Application they have to do it once online for EACH school you select.</p>

<p>if my common app doesnt have an “invite” button does it mean our school takes care of it?</p>
